IF for some reason we can't later use the HEL OSL ticket, would hope there would be no penalty?
Thanks in advance.

No repercussions.
Welcome to FT
Yeah, same, I may or may not quite intentionally dump my final DOH-CAI segment later this year. Depends on the deals to Asia at the time.
I guess fairly though in the fare rules I'm allowed to stop my ticket anywhere in the middle east. So would technically be fine, but QF are generally morons and don't understand that and insist you can't have a stopover in the same place twice (which you definitely can, just a limitation in their own system).
I'd say most likely I'll end up asking for a change from DOH-CAI to DOH-AUH instead. We'll see nearer to the end of the year how that goes. Worst case I'll force it in DOH by myself with a no-show. Sadly ex-CAI fares aren't what they used to be and nothing particularly appealing to Asia at the moment.
As long as you dump your ticket in an area that's allowed in your fare, then you have zero to worry about. However older posts were referencing dumping a ticket in a zone that wouldn't have been allowed in the ticket.
